⁶ Therefore ^(A)a lion from the forest shall strike them down;
    a ^(B)wolf from the desert shall devastate them.
^(C)A leopard is watching their cities;
    everyone who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces,
because their transgressions are many,
    their ^(D)apostasies are great.

⁷ “Though our iniquities testify against us,
    act, O Lord, ^(A)for your name's sake;
^(B)for our backslidings are many;
    ^(C)we have sinned against you.
